ESXI 6.5
When I try to add a new iSCSI adapter for my new SQL Cluster servers
I highlight the Host select configure tab then select storage adapters hit the GREEN Plus + sign select "software iSCSI adapter"
It fails with an error occurred during host configuration operation failed diagnostics report module iSCSI_vmk not loaded
I have 5 ESXI hosts and on three it works but on the two I need it does not
Any ideas?
Thank you
Tom
Might want to check vmkwarning.log first on the offending ESXi hosts to see why that module might not have loaded.
try
(get-log -vmhost (get-vmhost 10.2.8.10) vmkwarning).entries
get-vmhost : 4/19/2018 10:51:36 PM Get-VMHost VMHost with name '10.2.8.10' was not found using the specified

ing this command line but it fails
Can I view the logs using this?
Do you have a better method or command line that will work?
You need ssh access. It's a file log, not a host log stream.
I just exported my bundle
went to var\log and I do not see a current vmkwarning log
I then went to var\run\log folder and found the archived the date on the file is 3/4/2018 that is the last entry in vmkwarning
Any other ideas?
Thanks
Tom
Check vmkernel.log around that time. It may not be included in vmkwarning.
daphnissov,
Ok from the powershell cli I was able to recreate the vmkernal log
Here is what I found
This is Host 1

This is the first time add the iSCSI Adapters to these to hosts?
Any ideas?
This is still happening any ideas???
Have you tried a simple reboot of the offending hosts?
Are these 5 ESXi hosts in the same cluster? Maybe you have to restart vCenter?
Can you show a screenshot with existing storage adapters on Host 1 and Host 3?
Thanks Guys
I had a power outage and I restarted my HOST and then I was able to add the iSCSI Adapter.
Do not understand why that had to be done
But glad that fixed it.
You can lock the as fixed
Thank you
